FIESTA DAYS

WE SPENT THE WEEKEND IN TEXHOMA FOR FIESTA DAYS. THEY HAD A FOOTBALL GAME, PARADE, LUNCH IN THE PARK AND A BANQUET. LANCE'S BROTHER CLAY SPOKE AT THE BANQUET. WE ALL HAD A GREAT TIME. GUS RODE WITH WILL IN THE PARADE AND HAD A GREAT TIME, BUT HE WAS A LITTLE DISAPPOINTED NOT TO GET CANDY. SAGE AND JAXON GOT PLENTY FOR EVERYONE. SHAYLA IS A FLAG GIRL IN THE BAND, AND WE HAD A GREAT TIME WATCHING HER! WE WERE REALLY TIRED ON SUNDAY, BUT EVERYONE HAD A GREAT TIME!

LABOR DAY

WE TRAVELLED TO RUIDOSO OVER LABOR DAY WEEKEND. THE WEATHER WAS GREAT AND OF COURSE WE ENJOYED WATCHING THE RACES! WE DIDN'T STAY FOR THE BIG RACE ON MONDAY BECAUSE IT IS SUCH A LONG DRIVE BACK, BUT WE WATCHED THE BIG RACE ON SUNDAY. CHIP WOOLEY (TRAINER OF MINE THAT BIRD) HAD A HORSE RACING ON SUNDAY, AND HE WAS VERY EASY TO SPOT BECAUSE HE IS STILL ON CRUTCHES! THE KIDS GOT HIS AUTOGRAPH AND WERE VERY EXCITED! MINE THAT BIRD WAS IN RUIDOSO ALSO.

FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL

WELL, I'M A COUPLE OF WEEKS BEHIND, BUT WE HAVE SURVIVED SCHOOL SO FAR. GUS LOVES FIRST GRADE AND IS EXCITED TO GO EVERY DAY. HE IS READING SO WELL AND IS EXCITED TO READ EVERY BOOK IN HIS BACKPACK EVERY DAY. ONE DAY HE BROUGHT HOME SIX BOOKS!! WE HAVE BEEN BUSY GOING TO SOCCER AND FOOTBALL GAMES, SO WE HAVE DONE A LOT OF READING IN THE CAR.

SAGE IS ENJOYING SCHOOL ALSO. SHE WALKS IN THE DOOR EVERY DAY AT NOON AND SAYS, "I DON'T REMEMBER WHAT I LEARNED TODAY!" SHE HAS GOTTEN TIRED OF US ASKING, SO SHE JUST TELLS US. THROUGH THE DAY SHE GIVES A FEW HINTS OF WHAT WENT ON, BUT IT USUALLY JUST ENTAILS WHO SHE PLAYED WITH. SHE WILL ALSO SPOUT OFF THINGS THAT SHE DIDN'T KNOW BEFORE, AND IF YOU ASK WHERE SHE LEARNED IT SHE ALWAYS SAYS, "MRS. WILSON TAUGHT ME." SHE LOVES MRS. WILSON!
